I understand that "youth" in OA is under 21, so if there is an Arrowman who is still active in their Chapter or Lodge, I will consider them as long as they are also still active in the Troop. This may be verified by the Scoutmaster. If extenuating circumstances exist, please contact me. I'd be willing to make an exception in certain cases.

About Me

I have been collecting patches since I was bitten by the bug at a Conclave in 1991. I am an Eagle Scout, Vigil Honor inductee and former Lodge Chief (#397), and have spent countless nights under the stars.

My passion also extends to computers and programming. As such, I set out in 2013 to create something truly useful.

By utilizing my background in programming and system administration, I created Patchtrends.com with the specific goal of providing the Scout Patch Collecting community the very best, largest price database and research platform possible.

My overall guiding principles can be summed up as:

Obey the Scout Oath and Scout Law

Provide an exception, cutting edge product

Provide exception customer service and focus on customer satisfaction

Promote both patch trading and technology to our Youth

Leave this hobby in a better place than when I found it

I am always looking for new and innovative ways to apply the latest technologies and development in "big data" to the ever growing massive database of Scouting Memorabilia sales data.
